Stefon Diggs

Current Team: Minnesota Vikings
2016 Stats: 84 receptions/903 receiving yards/three touchdowns/10.8 yards-per-catch
The Skinny: Diggs is definitely the Terp that can make the biggest impact at the NFL level in 2017. He’s produced two solid years despite shoddy quarterback play at times. Diggs had to fight with Mike Wallace for targets as a rookie, but it didn’t look like Diggs would have much help last season. The emergence of Adam Thielen also helped take some of the pressure off of Diggs and he ended up leading the team in receptions.

Diggs has big-play ability and did gel at times with quarterback Sam Bradford. There’s very few players that are as dangerous in the open field as Diggs as Maryland fans know very well. He can rack up yards-after-the-catch with the best of them. He may be depended on even more with Adrian Peterson being gone. If Bradford can get this the ball like he did early in the 2016 season, the former Good Counsel (Md.) star could have his first 1,000-yard campaign at the professional level.
